Rodent Control in Berkshire (Mice, Rats & Squirrels)

Pest Control Specialists Berkshire provides fast, effective rodent control for homes across Berkshire.
If you’re hearing scratching noises, finding droppings, or spotting rodents in your loft, kitchen, garage, or garden,
we can help. Rodents spread bacteria, contaminate food, and can cause costly property damage — especially when they
chew insulation, timber, and electrical cables.

Our rodent control service covers mice control, rat control, and
grey squirrel control. Every job starts with a proper inspection to identify entry points, nesting
areas, and the cause of the infestation. We then apply professional-grade treatments and give clear guidance to help
prevent the problem from coming back.

Rodent Control Services We Provide

• Mouse Control: eliminate mice from kitchens, lofts, garages, and wall cavities.
• Rat Control: remove rats and help prevent re-entry with practical proofing advice.
• Squirrel Control: legal, humane grey squirrel removal from lofts and roof spaces.

Mouse Control in Berkshire

Mice might be small, but they cause big problems. Once inside a property they can multiply quickly, contaminate food
preparation areas, and damage wiring and insulation.

Common signs of mice:

• Scratching noises at night in walls, ceilings, or lofts
• Small droppings in cupboards, behind appliances, or along skirting boards
• Chewed packaging, soft furnishings, or cables
• Unpleasant musky odours in enclosed areas

Rat Control in Berkshire

Rats are more aggressive pests and can cause serious damage quickly. They often enter through gaps, damaged air
bricks, broken drain connections, or open points around extensions and outbuildings.

Common signs of rats:

• Larger droppings and strong smells
• Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or cables
• Burrows in gardens or near sheds and decking
• Noises under floors, in walls, or in loft spaces

Squirrel Control in Berkshire

Grey squirrels commonly enter lofts and roof spaces and can be extremely destructive. They chew timber, insulation,
and wiring, which can increase fire risk. Our squirrel control service follows UK legal requirements
and uses humane methods to remove squirrels safely.

Common signs of squirrels:

• Loud daytime scrambling or banging noises in the loft
• Damage around soffits, roof edges, or vents
• Chewed insulation, stored items, or wiring
• Visible entry points near rooflines

FAQs – Rodent Control Berkshire

How do I know if I have mice or rats?

The most common signs are droppings, scratching noises, and gnaw damage. Rat droppings are larger, and you may notice
stronger smells or burrows outside. A proper inspection confirms which pest you’re dealing with.

Are your rodent treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes — we use professional methods and apply them safely and responsibly. We’ll explain any precautions you need to
follow, and we can tailor the approach to homes with children and pets.

How quickly can you attend a rodent problem in Berkshire?

We aim to respond quickly and can often offer fast call-outs depending on availability. If the issue is urgent,
contact us and we’ll prioritise your booking where possible.

Will rodents come back after treatment?

They can if entry points aren’t addressed. That’s why we focus on identifying access routes and giving clear
prevention and proofing advice to reduce the chance of re-infestation.

Do you remove squirrels from lofts legally?

Yes. Grey squirrel control must follow UK regulations. We use legal, humane methods and provide guidance to help
prevent squirrels re-entering your roof space.

What attracts rodents to a property?

Food sources, clutter, accessible bin areas, pet food, bird feeders, and easy entry points all attract rodents.
Gaps around pipes, loose soffits, and broken vents are common access routes.

Do you offer proofing or prevention services?

We provide practical proofing advice as part of the service and can recommend the best next steps to block entry
points and reduce attractants, helping prevent rodents from returning.
